Steve Jobs's Big Miss: TV · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by samzenpus on Saturday March 14, 2015 @05:13AM from the blow-up-your-tv-throw-away-your-paper dept.

jfruh writes Steve Jobs was a well-known audiophile and music lover, which helps explain why Apple transformed the music industry in the '00s with the iPod and iTunes. But according to a new biography soon to be released, Apple may have failed to do the same for TV because of Steve Jobs's disdain for the medium. One of his first acts upon returning to the company was to kill the flashy, expensive 20th Anniversary Macintosh, in part because it had a built-in TV tuner. "Apple will never make a TV again," Jobs declared.

Then again... You use and defend Apple so your IQ is questionable... maybe you should stay with Apple then...
